Los Angeles is grappling with a flea-borne typhus outbreak, with seven people falling ill and six requiring hospitalization in the Wilshire Center area alone. This is the second major outbreak this year, with 109 cases reported countywide since January. The disease is spread by infected fleas commonly found on rats, opossums, and stray cats. Poor sanitation and homeless encampments are believed to contribute to the spread.
